Hello World! Welcome Friends! As the weather gets better and days become longer, the desire for changes and improvements will not keep you waiting and may cover anything from updating your wardrobe after colder months to repainting walls throughout the house. Spring cleanup is probably the most expected and inspiring one of all the home maintenance chores.
Home maintenance tasks vary depending on the season, so you will have to pay due attention to several particular things to prepare your property for spring. These preparations include checking up HVAC systems, drainage pumps and giving your house a proper washing.
But these are only a couple of things you should do. In this article, you will find all the necessary home maintenance tasks and tips to prepare your home for a long-awaited spring season. Read on!
Inspect HVAC Systems
Prior to springtime, you should inspect your HVAC systems to make sure they are ready for the season. In order to do so, you will need to be sure that your HVAC system has all the necessary components in place and works properly. The best way to do so is to hire experts specializing in heating service and repair who are available in your area.
You will need to check the ducts as well. If you’re doing that yourself, make sure there are no holes or rips in them as it can affect the heat flow and, in some cases, even lead to the malfunctioning of your heating system.
Inspect Drainage Pump
Spring is the time when water drainage systems become fully operational, so you will definitely want to check them up before the season begins. To do so, check the water pump’s filter and ensure that it has been cleaned thoroughly.
Additionally, you should also make sure that the drainage pump’s intake and outtake pipes are not clogged with debris and that there are no obstructions inside. If some of these requirements are not met, that may lead to flooding.
Give Your Home a Good Washing
Most homeowners choose springtime as a perfect opportunity for giving their homes a good cleaning. However, it can get pretty chaotic if you don’t have a plan.
Don’t worry, though – we’ve got your back. To clean the house in spring, you need to wipe the walls, vacuum the rugs, dust shelves, wash the floors, and clean your furniture if necessary. When washing your windows, do that from inside and outside. Make sure to use a cleaning agent that will not leave streaks and streaks on your windows.
Clean Up Your Yard
For many homeowners, spring is probably one of the best times of the year for cutting down bushes or trimming trees. While it can be a strenuous task, it will surely help you get ready for a new season and improve your home’s overall appearance. Turn on some music or ask your family member to help – that will make the process faster and more enjoyable.
Check Your Plumbing System
With the cold weather being behind you, now may be the best time to check your plumbing system and make sure that it’s ready for spring and summer. Check your pipes for any leaks, inspect the pumps, and make all the necessary repairs. This way, you will save time and money and prevent problems later in the year.
Clean Your Gutters Properly
Spring is a perfect time for cleaning gutters – not only because it is a great home maintenance chore but because it will also help protect your home from any potential damage caused by water leakage. As a matter of fact, regular maintenance of your gutters will keep them free from any debris or dirt that may have gathered after the winter months.
Check Your Roof Tiles for Damage or Leakage
Another thing you should check up on during spring is your roof. Make sure the roof tiles are intact and ready for the rains. Examine them closely for any cracks, tears, or other signs of leakage and replace those that are damaged immediately. Otherwise, you could end up flooded.
Fill Up Your Home’s Fire Extinguishers Properly
As spring approaches, fire hazards tend to increase significantly throughout the country. This happens because people start grilling again, and anything can happen during a party. Therefore, it is always a good practice to fill up your home’s fire extinguishers properly. Make sure you do this as soon as possible so that you are always prepared for any emergency situation.
Conclusion
When it comes to cleaning, spring should be your most productive month – although it probably won’t be very fun. Seasonal maintenance awaits, and you have to inspect all the essential systems in the house, clean everything, check the roof, and do a thousand tiny but necessary repairs.
Fortunately, if you have a plan, you can finish in no time. Our spring maintenance checklist can help with that. Just save this to your bookmarks, and when you’re ready, go along the list. Then, enjoy your safe and clean house that is prepared for any weather conditions.
